2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2012	Adults won't have any room to spare in the i-MiEV's back seat, but they will fit. This counts as a strength for the same reason ride smoothness and exterior styling do. see full Mitsubishi i-MiEV review

2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The front seats are very close together. And, even after adding an inch for the North American car, your shoulder is quite close to the B-pillar. Anything else with four doors is much roomier inside. see full Mitsubishi i-MiEV review

2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch 66-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic RWD	Has a lot of interior room for the exterior size. It has more than enough legroom for my 12-13 year old kids. see full Mitsubishi i-MiEV review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch 66-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic RWD	I am 5'11" and I need to have the seat fully back to be comfortable. Not suitable for persosns over 6' tall. see full Mitsubishi i-MiEV review

2010 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There is no lumbar support which makes it tough for drives over 2 hours. The seats could be better for its class. I think Subaru remedied this issue in the new body style, however. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review
